Party boy

Maddox dressed up at his friend Loralei ' s birthday party.

Excitement

Maddox was so excited by the prizes in his eggs.  This one was either jelly beans or a golden coin!

The Hunt at Grampa & Nonna's

Ready to go get their eggs!  The bunny left a note that Colton's eggs were yellow, green and blue, and Maddox's eggs were orange,  purple,  and pink.  They had so much fun!

Maddox's hunt

Maddox's clues from his hunt this morning.   The Bunny was so smart and kept his clues all on the main floor!  His cast didn't slow him down at all!

The hunt at home!

Colton's clues from the bunny!  He read them independently!  Such a good reader... he loved his adventure again this year!

James...

Wook, Mom.  I'm inside Dames and da Diant Peach!

The hunt!

Went to visit Mr. Jeff, Mrs. Sue and Miss Katie for an AWESOME egg hunt today.  Maddox worked hard in his cast, and he filled his basket!

Motorcycle helmet

Maddox is ready to hit the road.  Safety first!

Unfortunately,  he doesn't fit in his 5 point harness seat in his cast, so for the next 2.5 weeks, it's not as safety first as I'd like.

Practicing...

ABC practice with Maddox.   He's really interested.  You can tell because he's out stomping in the mud.

One of these things is not like the others...

Maddox wearing one of mom's boots so he can cover up his cast and play outside!

Up and walking!

Thanks to a pediatric walker, Maddox is up and getting around.  Usually when asked, his leg doesn't hurt, but on the off occasion that it's bothering him, he says, "my weg's bweeding."

First broken bone!

Maddox broke his right tibia and growth plate on Friday at the babysitter's on the trampoline.   He's a trooper!   3 weeks with a tall cast, then he'll be re-evaluated.

Singing... sort of.

Maddox: No, Mom!  No Kokomo.   Sing me the tooba wooba song!
Me:  the what?
Maddox:  you know... tooba wooba MONSTER TWUCK!!

not sure how I missed that song growing up.

Maddox goes to his first bday party!

Happy 4th Bday, Charlie!  Just up the street from Mimi & Papa ' s house!

Fell asleep...

I fell asleep in Maddox's bed last night.  I woke up with hot feet... Two helpers at the foot of the bed were keeping them warm.  Maddox picked out his own PJ's.
